Pink Baby goes to work
Children really do say the darndest things. It never gets old to enter their world and try to understand the beautiful creation of their mind. This past Mother’s Day, my daughter informed me that she needed lots of special treatment as she was a mother, too. She got a pink, cloth baby doll when she was born from her grandmother and it has been a family member ever since. She calls it “Pink Baby” and it creates quite a controversy as to how much of a person she really is. I’ve even been asked to babysit on days with client meetings and needed to bring Pink Baby in my briefcase. It is that kind of imagination that will be dreaming up our world’s next innovations.
Sure, a two-year old will still ask you “why” in response to anything you tell them, but they are just preparing for the next phase of “why not”. I love the way that kids aren’t hamstrung by “reality” and their minds can explore things that shouldn’t be possible. It’s for this reason that Fred Squared is working hard on Kidnomi as a way to inspire and equip the next generation of digital innovation. I want the leaders that come up with the idea asking first “why not”. Then, I hope that these phenoms take that same attitude to their future work environments and continue to challenge the status quo. It will be a great day when a bright mind presents a game-changing idea in a board room and is met with the right question: “why not?”
